Auditor wants a list of all critical alarms for last quarter: how do I export it?

[DataStream]

We have an external audit next month and the auditor asked for a list of all critical alarms of the last three months with trigger time and description, plus proof that we review them. I've only used the live alarm panel until now.
I can see Alarm Report under Report Management, but I'm not sure how to get a three-month period and what format to give the auditor. Also, will alarms that were configured recently but didn't exist three months ago cause a problem in the report?

Alarm history is stored in the database, so you can produce this from the Report Editor. Here's how.
1. Check that alarms are logged
In the Alarm Editor, each alarm has a Log Active field. Only alarms with logging active appear in Alarm Logs. Check this now for the critical alarms; if some were not logged, tell the auditor, and turn it on from today.
2. Create the report
1. Go to Insert > Report Management > Alarm Report.
2. Set the query Type to the time interval option and enter the start and end of the quarter. (The other option, Last, gives you the most recent period, for example the last N days, which is useful for regular reviews.)
3. Choose the view: table, graphic, or both. For an audit, the table view is clearer.
3. Export
Export as PDF for the auditor and XLS or CSV for your own analysis. With XLS you can filter by alarm Level to show only critical ones if your report contains all levels.
4. Alarms added recently
That's not a problem. The report shows what was logged in the period; alarms that didn't exist yet simply have no records before their creation date. It's worth noting the date of major alarm changes in your audit documentation.
5. Proof of review
Use Event Report together with the alarm report to show operator activity, and consider creating a Template Report (.xlsx) with your company layout so the monthly review always looks the same. Saving a monthly PDF in a controlled folder is a simple, credible review record.
